White Coaters

Definition

"White coaters" due to many of them being narrated by alleged medical "authorities" often wearing white lab coats to add gravity to their presence) were a staple of grindhouse fare for those requiring their cheesy entertainment disguised as a documentary, framing the softcore shenanigans with a stern moral lesson from a social worker, psychiatrist or other authority figure. Many of these films came from the, at the time, sexier and more liberal "Continent" with Germany and Sweden being major (s)exporters. Many were produced and directed by such sexploitation giants as Wolf C. Hartwig, Ernst Hofbauer, Walter Boos and Torgny Wickman. We all owe these gentlemen a debt of gratitude. If not for them some of our parents might never have figured out what to do and then where would we be? --http://www.revengeismydestiny.com/Sex%20Reports.html [Oct 2004]

In those shadowy few years before hardcore pornography became fully legalised in the States, filmmakers had to get their racy material past the censors by showing explicit sex acts in an 'educational context'. As a result, mock documentaries like Pornography in Denmark (1970), The Art of Marriage (1970) and Teenage Sex Fantasies (1972) reared their heads. As expected, these features were little more than standard sex films with some tacked on introduction hosted by a supposed doctor or psychologist (almost always wearing a white coat and usually spouting a European accent), who explains to the horny audience - who just want to get to the action - that what they are about to see will enrich their understanding and appreciation of the mysteries of lovemaking.

GIRLS AT THE GYNECOLOGIST (71) aka Madchen Beim
Frauenarzt. Outrageous and hilariously misguided entry in
Ernst Hofbauerís series of "Report" films. In this one we look
at the cases of a number of young women and their plumbing
problems as seen through the eyes of the narrator, a
moralizing but well meaning gynecologist. Yes, thatís right,
itís a "you are there" perspective as the good doc goes
spelunking between these galsí knees! And nothing, we mean
nothing is left to the imagination! Flashlight? Hell,
help me find my car keys and weíll drive out of here!
Starring Monika Dahlberg, Jutta Speidel, Christine Schuberth,
Sascha Hehn and Rolf Castell. Dubbed in
English.

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE aka Karlekens Sprak. Classic
Swedish "white coater" made during the height of the Sexual
Revolution. A panel of sexperts discuss various aspects of the human
condition while models make the sign of the double backed armadillo
for our edification. Weird sets with groovy lighting, revolving
beds, bad haircuts and funky fashions, split screen genitalia,
animated diagrams, gynecological exams, itís all here. Yet another
example of the genius that is Torgny Wickman. See also Love
XYZ and More About the Language of Love. Swedish language
X-rated (C)

LOVE XYZ (71) aka Love 3; Karlekens XYZ. Third and
final entry in Torgny Wickmanís amazing series of white coater
sex-o-mentaries (see also The Language of Love and More
About the Language of Love). With all the groovy graphic sex and
really bad haircuts that weíve come to expect from these and as an
added plus the final segment detailing the mating habits of a hippy
commune is subtitled in English! Swedish language X-rated.
(C)

NAUGHTY! (71) Remarkable pseudo-documentary from the UK that
explores the exploding European sex scene of the early Ď70s.
Re-enacting sexual customs past and present, it graphically covers
all manner of lust and debauchery and is definitely a film that has
to be obscene to be believed!English
language (C)

TOGETHER
(71) aka Sensual Paradise; Together: Die
Lust zu Zweit. Holy shit! Look what we found! The long
lost sex education flick made by Sean Cunningham and Wes
Craven that also just happened to be Marilyn Chambersí first
film!!! It boggles the mind to think that this softcore
sensitivity training course for couples (Craven called it
"Readerís Digest Sex") was what bankrolled Last House on
the Left! Good quality German language
print.

TRAIN STATION PICKUPS (79) Another trashy German flick
exploring the ever-popular "children of Zoo Station" theme
(Zoo Station is a Berlin train stop notorious as a hangout for
runaways, junkies and teen prostitutes. It first gained
worldwide "fame" in the film Christiane F.).
Unrepentant sleaze from Aryan exploitation giant Walter
Boos.

THE SCHOOLGIRL REPORTS

One of the coolest things to come out of the psyched out '70s was
Wolf C. Hartwig and Ernst Hofbauer's series of German "Schoolgirl
Report" films. This was an extremely popular collection of allegedly
"educational" pseudo-documentaries that purported to show parents
(fathers mostly, from the looks of it) the problems facing German
youth of the day. Of course virtually all of these problems revolved
around, what else? S - E - X! Each film is an eye-popping display of
gorgeous young German babes, far out fashions and oddball humor.
Plus, as an added bonus, you also get the incredibly groovy beat
music stylings of German composer Gert Wilden.

SECRETS OF SWEET SIXTEEN (73) aka What Schoolgirls Keep
Secret; Was Schuldmadchen Verschweigen.Our favorite
Swedish sexpot, the pendulous Christina Lindberg, makes a welcome
appearance in this entry in the seemingly endless string of
"schoolgirl" films imported from Germany and re-dubbed for the
enjoyment of dirty old men of all ages.Just a few of the
many "secrets" revealed here are thatchild molesters can be
subdued by flashing your tits at them, being raped by your motherís
lover brings the whole family closer together and Satanic black
masses lead inevitably to marriage. English dubbed
